what is this intake system?!

I follow you on all that, Allyn. But, my question regards how that
particular Oettinger manifold would likely flow more air than individual
throttlebodies (such as those that I own). Are you suggesting that the
velocity stacks on the individual throttlebodys are not also tuned ports?
